One very surprising revelation is that Russians don’t seem to have hardened aircraft shelters on their airbases! … many more photos There was a mass ATACAM raid on an airbase in Crimea.

^^^ Taking a city is like having a fort in an area. You can sustain operations in the surroundings using this as a base. If you knit together several cities (just like forts) you can sustain operations in a much larger region. That is what Ukraine has done. The North-South Donbass line (Siversk- Ba...

Btw, in a general vein, I don't understand the obsession to take cities/towns - Bakhmut or Avdeevka and now Kharkiv (other than the PR part).

Here's my two cents on the AP scenario: BJP's vote share in last elections was less than 1% and it is highly unlikely to improve on that if it goes all alone, with the uninspiring local leaders it has.
